Help!!
I have been operating with 2 primary FAT32 parttions using both win98 and wnixp in each fo these partions as operating systems. As my HHD was getting too full I decided to reformat my win98 drive, as I was not using win98 much, to FAT32 Primary Partition w
ith a view to using this drive as backup and storing files not being used regularly. I cannot get the win-xp loading now and when I start the computer it asks me for a system dics. Can any one guide whether how can I get the system to start with win-xp. I
have checked that all the files in Drive C (win xp) drive are intact.
Thank you.

Hi,

Boot your WinXP CD, load the Recovery COnsole by hitting "r" at the prompt.
Logon, then run fixboot from the command prompt. You may also need to run
bootcfg /rebuild. You overwrote the WinXP boot loader with Win9x code.
